Off day Monday

The Orioles also. What does Ryan Ohearn's contract look like? He splits between 1B and RF. Could be the LH bat we need?

And now, it's your old pal Casey Kasem, back with you and reaching out across the miles with a very special long-distance dedication. This one comes from Dale in SA, who writes to us with a heavy heart but a hopeful spirit. Here’s what Dale had to say:

"Dear Casey,
I’m sending this dedication to my dear friend Shay, who’s been going through a really tough time at his job. Shay is one of the hardest-working people in baseball, always giving his all, but lately, he’s been underappreciated and mistreated by those around him. It’s been hard to watch someone so kind and talented be overlooked like this. I want Shay to know that his worth isn’t defined by how others treat him, but by the incredible person he is. I’m dedicating this song to lift his spirits and remind him that better days are coming. From your friend, Dale."

Well, Dale, your words hit home, and I know Shay’s listening out there, feeling the love you’re sending his way. Shay, this one’s for you—a song about resilience, hope, and knowing your value, no matter what the world throws at you. Here’s Lean on Me by Bill Withers, going out from Dale to Shay, on this long-distance dedication.

Keep your feet on the ground, Shay, and keep reaching for the stars...

What if Dalen SA has actually been Dale n SA this whole time? The world as i knew it has changed.

Some guy named Dale mails a radio station, and everybody's got to jump to conclusions. I'm sure DalenSA has never even met a baseball player named Shay.
